The changing face of Mawson Station

This week at Mawson: 24 February 2012

High on one of our communication towers overlooking the station lives our webcam. It has primarily been installed as an operational device to assist us in our work, but sometimes it may be directed towards a particular location, such as a station building, or towards operational activities such as construction work or shipping operations. Although for the majority of the time, it simply records pictures of the weather, which are published on our web page for general interest – http://www.antarctica.gov.au/webcams/mawson

The following video is a collection of 72 images chosen to represent the extremes of weather that we’ve experienced here at Mawson over the past 12 months.
